Abstract :

In India, aloe vera has been referred to as "kumari� in Ayurvedic treatments where it was popularly used to treat the sore eyes, aasions, wounds and antioxidants properties. Different fractions of Aloe vera as well as unfractionated whole gel have antioxidant effects. Glutathione reductase activity, superoxide dismutase, catalase enzymes and a phenolic antioxidant (ascorbic acid and β–carotene) were found to be present in Aloe vera gel, which may be responsible for these antioxidant effects.
